Question

5men and 4 women together earn 517 and 3 men and 6 women together earn 483.then what is the wage of 8 men and 8 women?

Answer 1

Let the number of men be x and number of woman be y
5men=5x, 4 woman = 4y
5x+4y=517.......(1)
3 men=3x , 6 women = 6y
3x+6y=483.......(2)
Solving these two equations we get x=65,y=48
8 men and 8 women=8x and 8y
8×65 and 8×48
520 and 384
